Why does my source node connect so many times to the FTP server?

Question

I only want my source node to run once per day at 10:30pm.  Currently it runs at 10:30 successfully, and then continues to connect and quit, connect and quit, connect and quit... etc.  How do I get it to run only once?

Here are my configurations:

Disconnect After Use - Checked

Execution: Scheduled

CRON String: * 30 22 * * *

This can be a subtle issue, but there is a wild card in the seconds column of your CRON String.  This means that it effectively runs at 10:30:00, 10:30:01, 10:30:02, 10:30:03... etc.  Your CRON String should specify the seconds column like this:

CHRON String: 00 30 22 * * *
